"I am very pleased with the financial performance of GTS Poland. Through innovative solutions, allowing to offer comprehensive services for our clients, we were able to grow faster than the telecommunications market. Its growth is currently estimated at 2 percent per year[1]. GTS Poland grew at a rate three times the industry, and we did it organically, meaning without any acquisitions. The company focused on our previously adopted strategy, which involves concentrating on the needs of business customers in specific market segments. We are constantly listening to customer feedback and working on new services that help companies meet today's challenges. We will soon introduce a product line called Data Storage, which will help companies to look at the issue of increasing amount of data from different perspective," says Piotr Sieluk, CEO of GTS Poland.

GTS Central Europe Group also announced its consolidated, unaudited regional financial results for 2011:

• Revenue of 396 million Euros, an increase from the previous year of over 2%
• EBITDA of 99 million Euros, reflecting a 25% margin and annual growth of 9%
• Free cash flow (EBITDA less capital expenditures) of 50 million Euros

In 2011, GTS saw an improvement in all key indicators – revenue, gross margin, EBITDA, and cash flow - in comparison with the previous year. Increased profitability reflects the gradual movement of customers into higher margin data and managed service solutions. The opening of a new data center in Slovakia and the continuous expansion of our access networks also contribute to margin growth.

“Our regional financial results reflect a lot of hard work by GTS employees in 2011. In addition to acquiring a data center company in the Czech Republic, we invested heavily in expanding the capacity and depth of our network. On average, GTS added over 100 buildings per month to our footprint. We also accelerated our entry in to the ICT solutions market with new products and platforms. Our success is directly related to our  customers and we will stay focused on continuing to be their preferred solutions provider in 2012.” said Danny Bottoms, CEO, GTS.
